But I will trust in You.

           Psalm 55. 23

(Trust is not what can we do

    when we can't do anything,

but our daily pattern,

      our daily practice,

      our daily response

to the joys

          and to the difficulties.

Trust is not dependent

      on understanding the known

      or the unknown,

not the past or now or next,

but trusting

          in the God who does,

who transcends all circumstances,

      all manner of time and place,

and loves us

          more than we can know.

What is His promise, 

                 what is our response?

"Trust Me in this.")

O LORD,

We all struggle with many things.

But You are with us

           on this path.

And we can trust You,

               even in this.

Help us to listen,

       to pray to You,

and to respond

   by following You.

You hear our prayers and

            calls to You.

And You redeem

    not just our circumstances,

    not just the hard stuff,

    not just the scary places,

                     but our souls.

Align our hearts with Yours

   that we would trust You

                    even more.
